three times day--will, it is said, remove
freckles from hands or face in short time.
Or, one ounce of lemon juice mixed with a

Keep the Coffee Pot Clean.

Not even milk pans require more
scrupulous care than the coffee pot.
1t may be rinsed after each time of
using and yet be far from clean.
There is an oily property about cof-
fee which adheres in spite of rinsing
out. You can see this for yourself
by taking almost any coffee pot that
has been some time in use, unless it
has been very carefully kept, and
you will find clinging to it sort of
black grease-not brown. This will
come off if you rub cloth round
the inside. Now this deposit, for
some reason which | should like to
have explained, destroys the fra
GRANGE, color and flavor Of coffee.
If you see your coffee looks black
brown instead of ruddy-brown, you
will know it will be fiavorless, how
ever strong.
To keep this black oil from the
pot, it must be daily washed, not
rinsed, scalded and dried. Each
piece of French coffee pot should
be separately dried before it is put
away. If packed together wet, the
strainers will in time have metallic
taste. Another reason for great
care is that without it the strainers
get clogged and the coffee will not
go through.
If you find your coffee pot has
been neglected, put piece of wash.
ing soda as large as hickory nut
into hot water; set the strainers in
it; put the same in the coffee pot
then rub and brush both till the wire
gauze is clear and all the black re.
moved; then run boiling water slow.
ly though, and dry it. Let the care
be daily afterwards. The grease
will not form, nor the gauze fill up
if pint or SO of boiling water is
poured through every morning and
is dried before being pnt away
Cold water is worse than useless, as
it sets the oil. Sometimes the cof
fee pot is put away exactly as il
leaves the table, with leftover coffee
in it. This should never be.
In drying the coffee pot, or warm
it, be careful not to let it get too
hot, or there will be the flavor o
burnt coffee to spoil the beverages
for that occasion.-Good House
keeping.

A Dishonest Man,

81 never saw greater rascal in my
life than old Smith is" remarked
farmer.
"What makes you think so?" queried
a friend.
"Why, he said that the first sack of
oats that l sold him was too light, so
l put a large iron wedge in the next
sack of oats, just to please him, you
know, and"
"Did he kick against the wedge?"
"No; he would have split his foot
if he had kicked against the wedge;
he did worse"
"Did worse 20
eyes; the blamed old thiefkept the
wedge"

Cause of Dyspepsia.

Hurried eating of meals, followed
Immediately by some employment
that occupies the whole attention
and takes up all, or nearly all, of the
physical enerergies, is sure to result
in dyspepsia in one form or another.
Sometimes it shows itself in exces-
sive irritability, a sure indication
that nerve force has been exhausted;
the double draught in order to di-
gest the food and carry on the bust
ness, has been more than nature
could stand without being thrown
out of balance. In another case the
person is exceedingly dull as soon as
he has a few minutes of leisure.
The mind seems a dead blank, and
can only move in its accustomed
channels, and then only when com
PEELED. This also is an indication of
nervous exhaustion. Others will
have decided pains in the stomach,
or sense of weight, as if a heavy
burden were inside.
Others again will be able to eat
nothing that will agree with them /;
every thing that is put inside the
stomach is made the subject of a
violent protest on the part of that
organ, and the person suffers untold
agonies in consequence. Others
suffer from constant hunger. They
may eat all they can, and feel hun.
cry still. If they feel satisfied for
little time, the least unusual exer-
tion brings on the hungry feeling,
and they can do no more until some-
thing is eaten. 1t is almost needless
to say that this condition is not
hunger but Inflammation of the
stomach. Scarcely any two persons
are affected in the same way, the
disordered condition manifesting it.
self according to temperament and
occupation, employments that call
for mental work, and those whose
scene of action lies indoors, affect
ing persons more seriously than
those carried on in the open air and
those which are merely mechanical
and do not engage the mind.
All, or nearly all, of these diff
culties of digestion might have
never been known by the sufferers
had they left their business behind
them and rested a short time after
eating, instead Of rushing off to
work Immediately after hastily swal-
lowing their food.
Nature does not do two things at
time, and do both well as a rule.
| All know that when a force is di-
vided it is weakened. If the meal
were eaten slowly, without preoccu-
patton of the mind, and the stomach
allowed at least half an hours chance
to get its work well undertaken be-
fore the nervous force is turned in
another direction, patients from dis
pepsia would be few.-Household

A Colorado Colony.

1t is proposed to organize colony of So
Der and industrious young men and men
with families, to settle upon some fertile
lands in southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing contented and
prosperous community.
All who desire to join with this object in
view are invited to send their names an1
residence to either of the undersigned,
lstating number in family, amount of means,
profession, or trade; to the end that we may
enlist all the elements necessary for the sue
,cess of the enterprise.
The lands we propose to settle upon are
fertile in the extreme, with climate suited
to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals, also all small and standard fruits,
including the nectarine, apricot and peach.
There will be an abundance of water for ir-
rigation, thus insuring successful soil cul-
ture.
A town will be laid out with lots for bus
iness and residence purposes, these last in
creasing in size as they recede from the bus.
iness center, upon the plan adopted by the
Greedy Colony. Wide streets will be made
special feature of the town and suitable
reservations will be made for churches,
schools, public buildings and parks.
No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adjoining lands.
Temperance is the basis of contentment,
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard of
virtue and the shield of the weak. A strict
prshibitory clause will be inserted in the
deeds to lots and lands in order to secure
these desired ends.
Those with some means are enlisted in
this work, as the first year of colony life is
Of necessity one in which the work of estab-
fishing the home and preparing garden, or
ohard and farm lands must be done and but
little in the way Of crops. save for home sub
sistence, can be counted upon.
A membership of five dollars is required,
which is to be used for the incidental ex-
penses OF organization, location of lands,
ETC., which will be fully accounted for to
the colony officers. As soon as suffi cient
number of members is secured, active steps
will be taken to complete the organization.
1t may not be out Of place to state here
that the Colorado gentleman whose name is
appended to this call and who has agreed to
join this enterprise, was connected with the
settlement of the now prosperous towns of
Greeley, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs,
and has had an experience of seventeen
years in the building of towns, irrigatiug
canals and the development of agriculture
and fruit growing in Colorado.
1t is desirable that settlement in the new
town be made as early as possible. Write
us at once of your intention concerning this
promising enterprise.
